(V- "7 DJ "Pedro" at Weber State University IGNP0S1 Wbu diock party H J s. r s S " & w n n si r qj on dJ OTIS' mm JU u tu 'W 1 Students with disabilities find the best way to class By Molly Bennett editor in chief The Signpost What seems a nightmare for students to get around campus will be a dream. Don Guthrie has been on Weber State University campus for 20 years as a student and as staff. He has seen campus through all sorts of different modification. "When I started," Guthrie said, "there were maybe two buildings with door openers." Door openers are the buttons that open a door automatically to help students with disabilities. Guthrie, who is in a wheelchair, said with all the construction, getting around campus is not much worse than it's ever been. "It's a matter of the knowledge of how to get from place to place," Guthrie said. The biggest issues for students with disabilities, Guthrie said, are getting up hills and using elevators. If an elevator goes out, then there will be problems for them. There are 800 to 850 students on campus with any disability, according to Guthrie, with approximately 12 to 20 in manual or motorized wheelchairs. Tyler Lathem is studying economics with a legal emphasis. Lathem uses a wheelchair and works for the Services for Students with Disabilities office. He said the construction has changed things, though not necessarily made them more difficult. "It's the same amount of work, just a different way," Lathem said. "We are r getting a lot more usage out of other sidewalks." Lathem is willing to take students around campus to show them different paths they can take to get around. He has taken one student on the tour. "Takes five more minutes to get to class," Lathem said. "After construction, campus will be like a dream." There has been a decrease in enrollment for students with disabilities, according to Lathem, in the last three semesters. "The single complaint," Guthrie said, "is some buildings don't have two door openers." The students travel through a building and use one door opener and then there is not a second one on the other side. "It's complicated," Guthrie said. "Door openers are not a requirement." He said very few students are inconvenienced by not having a door opener. But many who would be inconvenienced by no access to the building, which would be the consequence "Takes five more minutes to get to class. After construction, campus will be like a dream." Tyler Lathem, WSU economics student throughout the installation of a door opener. Guthrie makes one trip per week around campus to see what impact construction has. He said students with disabilities are not being cut out by not being priority. They just need someone to go teach them the best paths to use. The Disability Services are trying to make more students aware of their existence. "It's different to teach someone visually impaired," Guthrie said. "The program is individualized, everything we do is individual." Brian Giles has known about the disablity services center since he started at WSU five years ago. He is blind and likes to hang out there at the center. "It's chill," Giles said. Giles said the construction has made it more difficult to get around. "I have to use the shuttle more," Giles said. "That sucks." Since he lives in Promontory Towers, Giles said he used to go straight through the breezeway to get to the Social Sciences building. Now Giles takes the shuttle, which adds about 10 minutes to his travel time. Giles said the shuttle buses are fine. "We all know Brian," said Ross LaRue, the fleet manager for the shuttle buses, "he is a regular." LaRue said he has not seen an increase with students with disabilities riding the buses. "We thought to see more riding from the Social Services building," LaRue said. "We wanted to be ready just in case." Out of the 10 buses in the fleet, eight have lifts. LaRue said none have Braille or are well- equipped for deaf. "Drivers are not required to know a second language," LaRue said. "Deaf people in society can communicate very well in society today." Six to seven buses run during busy hours in the morning. The only bus that doesn't have a lift is the one that does the express route. The express route services three stops. It starts at the Dee Events Center, goes to the Social Sciences Building, to the Lynn Lecture Hall then returns to the Dee Events Center. Every five to seven minutes a bus from any given route passes, according to LaRue. Aside from the temporary campus traffic problems it's causing, Giles said, "Their making progress."
